More than 30 years ago, Cuccaro worked to bring together the best regional public adjusting firms to form Adjusters International, a corporation with the capacity to react to widespread natural disasters with the highest level of resources and professional expertise, and a core commitment to its clients for excellence and integrity.

Adjusters International has provided disaster recovery assistance resulting from the Mexico City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles earthquakes; the 1993, 1997 and 2008 floods in the Midwest; and every hurricane to have struck the U.S. and Caribbean since 1985. Cuccaro coordinated the team of Adjusters International professionals named to the Governor’s Task Force on Damage Assessment for Oklahoma City following the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building; coordinated Adjusters International’s role as consultants to the Government of Kuwait with respect to war reparation claims submitted to the United Nations; and led the Adjusters International consulting teams that assisted the Port Authority of New York/New Jersey following both the 1993 and the 2001 World Trade Center attacks.

In 2016 Cuccaro coordinated Adjusters International acquisition of Tidal Basin to offer diverse comprehensive Disaster Preparedness and Recovery services to clients, both pre and post disaster. The merger of the two companies was followed by the organization of their parent; Rising Phoenix Holdings Corporation.

Cuccaro actively manages the day-to-day operations of the Rising Phoenix Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries corporations; leading it on its continued path of growth and expansion.
